draw three rounds trumps and set up one of the red aults. The trouble is that East will save whichever sult declarer tries to establish.

The solution to the problem is to make East commit himself before you decide which red Rust to set up. You win the first trick with the king of clubs, take two rounds of trumps with the queen

and jack, cash the queen and ace of clubs, then load the king of spadea from dummy.

and

At this moment, East has four cards in each of the red suits. He must make a discard and therefore must reduce to three cards in one or the other of the red suits,

It East discards a heart, you allow the king of spades hold. You then cash the age of hearts, ruft a heart, get back to dummy by ruffing a diamond, and ruff one more heart. Now is completely the North hand established.
